  11. [R20] SiriusXM 5/5 · US Better than the others: I tried Deezer to get better fidelity. After a month I cancelled it because they never did play any of the music I like. XM plays just the right music for me! Thanks. And I can get it in the middle of the desert or the top of the mountains!

  20. [R51] Amazon Store Card 1/5 · US Be careful with credit promotions: I made one qualifying purchase for the promotional 0% financing, but Amazon split my order into separate charges as the items shipped. Because of that, the promotion wasn’t applied, even though the original order met the required amount. I’ve been sent back and forth between Amazon and the credit card company, with neither taking responsibility. Customers shouldn
  21. [R56] Amazon Store Card 3/5 · US Slow: It’s takes forever for their system to process a payment and release your line of credit. I usually just end up using my Walmart Mastercard for payment.
  22. [R58] Amazon Store Card 4/5 · US App works fine: But I don’t like that it takes almost 3 weeks for the credit limit to reflect the payment.
  23. [R61] Amazon Store Card 4/5 · US Worthless: This is a terrible app for managing your Amazon account. When you make your monthly payment on the due date, it's credited on the app immediately, but Amazon doesn't credit you for at least two days, then you receive a late charge which you have to contest. It doesn't accurately track payments - and what else is it supposed to do??
  24. [R60] Amazon Store Card 1/5 · US 2 charges in one month: I opened my Amazon store card app and it was a payment available on May first, I paid , now it’s another payment due for the same month, I reached out but the representative didn’t want to help me! Card is destroyed and won’t use it anymore. The app is very slow and full of glitches.
  25. [R67] Amazon Store Card 1/5 · US Costumer Service: Cheap service
  26. [R69] Amazon Store Card 1/5 · US Unfriendly: I had an issue with customer service and I suppose I hurt their feelings. After the call they cut my limit for no other reason than human vindictiveness which tanked my credit rating for a few months. Went from 700 to 650, back now but Beware.
